Amazon has revealed the first official look at Fallout season 2, giving us our first teases at how the series will handle a location fans have been dying to see on screen for years: New Vegas, the main setting of Obsidian’s beloved Fallout: New Vegas. But that doesn’t necessarily mean we’re getting a good look at New Vegas itself just yet.

Scientists discover surprising language 'shortcuts' in birdsong – like humans

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-11 03:02:49

Scientists have uncovered a hidden pattern in birdsong that mirrors a core rule of human language. A new study, led by researchers at The University of Manchester, in collaboration with Chester Zoo, found that birds appear to follow Zipf’s Law of Abbreviation (ZLA) – the idea that more frequently used sounds tend to be shorter. This rule, found in all human languages, helps make communication more efficient. The findings, published in the journal PLoS Computational Biology today, offer new ins

‘KPop Demon Hunters 2’ is Looking More Likely

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-11-15 11:50:59

Since KPop Demon Hunters came out in June and took the world by storm, fans have been clamoring for more. Netflix sure would like to, given how well this one film’s performed, but it seems to be a question of whether the stars will align for it and Sony to make a sequel together. In a recent story from Puck’s Matt Belloni, he lays out some of the film’s financials, namely that it cost Sony over $100 million to produce, and only about $20 million is going to the studio, even with the film’s brie

Sony Xperia 1 VII The Sony Xperia 1 VII packs some of the most powerful photo and video features on the market into a robust build that finally sees a long-term update pledge to match. Sadly, the camera quality doesn't always live up to the promise, and it struggles to stand out on any other merits.

Lelo Sona 3 Cruise Review: Stale Update

One of my biggest gripes about the sex toy industry—and the tech industry for that matter—is that there's a lot of iteration. New versions of already great products arrive every few years, with very minor changes, and you're left wondering what the latest brings to the table outside of a higher price. Many sex toy brands are guilty of this, from Womanizer and We-Vibe to Dame. Lelo's new Sona 3 Cruise falls into this camp as well, even if its predecessor arrived five years ago. This vibrator doe

Incan numerical recordkeeping system may have been widely used

Inca bureaucrats recorded all the goings-on in their bustling empire using knotted cords called khipu, where the position and order of the knots represented numbers. They relied on the khipu system to track people, taxes, produce, livestock, and products like woven cloth and beer. Because khipu were so vital to the Inca government, and because the khipu itself is such a sophisticated way of recording numbers, colonial writers decided that these tools must be the exclusive knowledge of a very sp

Reading research papers and articles about chain-of-thought reasoning makes me frustrated. There are many interesting questions to ask about chain-of-thought: how accurately it reflects the actual process going on, why training it “from scratch” often produces chains that switch fluidly between multiple languages, and so on. However, people keep asking the least interesting question possible: whether chain-of-thought reasoning is “really” reasoning. Apple took up this question in their Illusio
